Big Trouble in Little China: Not as Racist as You Would Expect Artwork

More Movies Please!

Steven and Sean want to watch all the movies. No really, ALL the movies. We're both filmmakers (although Sean's been dabbling in other things) who love to talk about all the movies we see. Each episode, we discuss a movie we've recently watched and decide whether or not it's worth your time. Hosted by Steven Reyes and Sean Anderson.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are traveling deep underground to stop an ancient ghost-sorcerer. We watched the 1986 film from John Carpenter, Big Trouble in Little China.

Anybody here reading have dazzling green eyes? Our suggestion to you is either get colored contacts or get ready to do battle against Lo Pan, the most fearsome Chinese sorcerer this side of whatever the heck city this movie takes place in.

Wait, are we to believe that the city is actually called “Chinatown”? All right. This is our monthly B-movie after all. Listen on to discover how we rate this, ahem, unique movie.
